Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (‘KONGSBERG’) has signed a contract with the Norwegian Defence Material Agency for upgrading the combat system on board the Norwegian Navy’s Skjold class vessels.

The contract has a value of about NOK 400 million and the deliveries from KONGSBERG will upgrade and improve the technical availability of the Skjold class. The project is a continuation of the upgrade of the Skjold combat system, initially awarded in 2022.
“We are pleased to continue the work with the Norwegian Defence Material Agency on the Skjold class to support and strengthen the fleet’s operational ability and availability,” said Kjetil Reiten Myhra, Executive Vice President, Defence Systems at Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
“This contract is an important contribution to ensuring that the Skjold-class remains a relevant and combat-capable asset in the years ahead. The upgrade enhances precision, detection capability and endurance, and constitutes a key element in the overall modernisation of the vessels,” says Head of Maritime Capabilities, Stein Håvard Bergstad at Norwegian Defence Material Agency.
The Norwegian Navy has six Skjold class vessels, which rank among the fastest naval vessels in the world.
